Pete Carroll, Vic Fangio and Kyle Shanahan have been fined $100,000 for not wearing masks during their team's games this past Sunday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Seahawks, Broncos and 49ers were fined an additional $250,000. The three fines added up to $1.05 million.
The fines came a week after Troy Vincent, the NFL's executive VP of football operations, sent a strongly worded memo to all 32 teams reminding them of the importance of wearing face covering during games. The memo also stated that future discipline could be enforced to coaches who don't comply with the league's rules. This season, any non-player in the "bench area," which is defined as each sideline between the 30-yard lines, is required to wear a mask at all times.
"We must remain vigilant and disciplined in following the processes and protocols put in place by not only the league, union and clubs, but also by state and local governments," the memo read. "Failure to adhere to this requirement will result in accountability measures being imposed against offending individuals and/or clubs ... Becoming careless or ignoring face covering and physical distancing requirements will put the 2020 season at risk."

Seems Mrs rktman’s assessment of that POS was correct. Which she made several years ago. Now, we ain’t watching any of them. And she runs on Packer cheese. No more.
Does anyone know what the ratings were? I love watching the NFL sink.
Clearly not. It was a quality honed on the playing fields and the battlefields - but in the Age of the Participation Trophy it has become very scarce.
I'll stick with my comment, but add;
I figure about four generations of kids that have never developed critical thinking skills and are now adults with kids of their own.
The Petard strikes again
You’d think he would have worn a Black Lives Matter mask.
Not surprised. Pete Carroll would never let anything get between his mouth and a microphone.
Well, that jackass and his useless Seattle Seahawks can pony up the money easily. If you’re going to not wear a mask in front of a bunch of Karens on national TV, be prepared to pay through the nose.
The NFL Karens are serious.
Let us all cower in fear./sarc
They’ve been de-prioritized, just about to the bottom of the things on my mind. No need to be disparaging.
Good, the NFL is my sworn enemy. Whatever misery they are under comforts me.
